City of Taunton

The Wreck of the City of Taunton, Somerset side of Mount Hope Bay. The remains of a Fall River Line freight steamer. Grounded in the 1930s and abandoned. A most ironic ship name for me, since I now live in the "City of Taunton".

The 292' ship was built in 1892 at Chelsea, Massachusetts. The remnants of the wooden hull are visible at low tide, just south of the Braga Bridge in Somerset.

Cook Borden Lumber Yard

Cook Borden Lumber Yard, 1883, Fall River, Massachusetts waterfront. For many years the largest lumber dealer in the city. The site was located next to where Point Gloria is today.
